Welcome to Avon School


Avon School, is a full primary school catering for children from Year 1-8. Avon is situated on the corner of Hamlet Street and Warwick Road in Stratford.

Avon School is a vibrant learning community. We encourage all of our ākonga and whānau to demonstrate our new values: Kaitiaki, Ako, Mana Motuhake and Aroha - KAMA meaning our ākonga are being quick, eager, keen and willing to learn. . 

We strive to provide all ākonga with the tools and confidence to be and do their best. And enable them to be successful life long learners.

Celebrating our 4th classroom reopening in 2025

Our roll continues to grow and so the Board has funded the fourth classroom. This means we have moved back to a Year 1-2, Year 3-4, Year 5-6 and Year 7-8 class.We have a roll of 73 now and only need 3 more tamariki for it to be funded through the Ministry. We celebrate small class sizes with most rooms being 18 - 20 tamariki.
